Lancashire / Re: Melling / Wray records ??

« on: Saturday 14 July 07 11:35 BST (UK) »

Hello Pauline, Thanks for the speedy respnse.
This is the story.
My problem starts with William Wilcock of Melling, (married in Bolton le Sands)..Born 1730.
The preceding generations,...five of them ... are all noted as CHR Melling, but of Wray.
My earliest is Richard 1566. So there are plenty of them, and with the siblings there is a tribe of them.
But NO other details.
I actually visited Melling and the general area ( not easy to do from Australia) and could not unearth any burial details , even. NIL from burial records and grave lot details in Melling. No sign of a Wilcock at all.
If they lived there, you would think that they must also die there.
So that's the story of the old iron pot.
Is that any clearer , do you think?
Cheers Brian

Lancashire / Melling / Wray records ??

« on: Saturday 14 July 07 09:24 BST (UK) »

G'day,.... This puzzles me.
I have a pile of WILCOCK births / Christenings , and generally these are "born in Wray", or "of Wray" , and the christenings are registered in Melling.
There, all records cease. In spite of my efforts, I have not been able to find on-going records of marriages or deaths. Or anything.
What am I missing?
Can any-one lead me out of this mire?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Brian.

Lancashire / Stables family in Astley Bridge, Bolton

« on: Friday 13 July 07 07:36 BST (UK) »

Hi,...
The Stables family owned property in Astley Bridge from the 1880s onwards until about 1930.
These properties were in Eden St and Viola St, but things have changed , and most no longer exist. I am trying to find details / maps / anything covering this area at that time, but with no success.
Can anyone help?
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Brian.

Lancashire / FINCH / WILCOCK Connection c.1640

« on: Friday 13 July 07 07:25 BST (UK) »

G'day,....
There is assumed to be a strong connection between the Finch family and the Wilcock family between the years of 1560 and 1700 in the area around Rivington ( or Chorley).
There were apparently business associations and marriages at this time.
Any information , please.
Would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

Stubles, I knew about this, but the Lancashire Quarter Sessions is very good info, and may allow a follow-up.
Thanks again.... Brian.

Lancashire / STABLES in Holleth c. 1812 to 1825 ?

« on: Sunday 17 June 07 10:22 BST (UK) »

Hi everyone,... After a break, I'm back with silly questions. Any assistance would be appreciated.
William Stables and his wife Agnes apparently resided in HOLLETH nr Cockerham, somerwhere within the years 1812 to 1825.
We assume this because of the births of their children in Holleth and chr. in Cockerham. They were Charles , William and Thomas.
Information is hard to come by,

so any snippet would be welcome. Thanks Brian
